Nonsense. For every drug offender in prison there are 50 in court ordered treatment programs, diversion, probation, halfway houses, community service programs or any one of a hundred treatment facilities. Treatment works, so rarely that it should be disregarded as a possibility.
What you see as nonsense is historical fact.
As in all things Trump and other totalitarians, everything looks like a nail which must be hammered. Due process is not the strong suit of cowardly wannabe tough guys.
The arguing back and forth over the legality of bombing a boat allegedly carrying drugs is entirely missing the actual issue.
The bombing of the boat was for the consumption of the MAGAs. "Oooooooh, lookee the fi-uh-wuhks! Preeeeetteeee! Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk!"
.
Here's the thing.
A drug lord is not going to say to himself, "Gosh darn it. Trump got me. I guess I'll give up the drug business and start selling Amway products."
You think a drug lord gives a damn about some dead mules? Seriously? That boat was shrinkage!
The War On Drugs has been a colossal failure because American politicians do not understand how capitalism works.
Drug lords are the epitome of capitalists. Hell, they probably use Trump crypto to launder their money.
It's all about supply and demand.
After decades of "The War On Drugs", you'd think our leaders would have figured out by now we cannot choke off the supply side of the equation.
The problem is not foreign. The problem is not Venezuelan drug boats.
The problem is domestic. The problem is the demand side.
Instead of wasting hundreds and hundreds of billions more on bombs and bullets, we need to invest in prevention and treatment.
Imagine how many residential treatment centers could have been built with the hundreds and hundreds of billions we have completely wasted on interdiction.
Sadly, the MAGA mindset is so far gone down the totalitarian path, a MAGA propagandist felt comfortable enough to say we should just execute our drug addicts.
Imagine instead of stigmatizing, and contemplating the death penalty for, the afflicted, we helped them kick their curse and put the drug lords out of business that way.
Imagine what would happen to the crime rate if we helped addicts get clean. Imagine how clean our streets would be.
Not everything is a fricking nail. They are God's children.

Fighting crime by legalizing and protecting criminal activity will not work. It wasn't the end of prohibition that reduced crime, it was serious and intense efforts by law enforcement, notably the FBI. It was police that were none too picky about how criminals were treated or whether they lived or died.

Your grasp of how things work is very poor. Criminal activity can be created by poor and illegitimate legislation, but that's too sophisticated for you to grasp. You are unable to understand how economics work even though many books have been written about that.
You are a fine example of a drug user justifying the experience. China lost every opium war fought against Britian. They "won" by going into the opium dens and just slaughtering everyone.
Yeah, after they got rid of Carlos Lehderer that's what we were told. Then after taking Pablo Escobar we were told the same old story.
Not one capitalist selling recreational substances to Americans on the black market ever held a gun to their customers heads and forced them to use.

Not if the objective was to usher in an unconstitutional military/police/surveillance state.
